Wiper Blades

[Traktion]

I know this is a stupid question, but...

 

What wiper blades does the 350z use? I looked in the manual and couldn't see a mention of it. I just went to Halfords and they didn't have them in their book. I asked at the counter and then he went off to get them, only for me to realise they were the wrong ones (too big!) when I got home.

 

Is it something to do with the R2 and R3 on the blades?! Forgive me for being dense, but I usually just nip down Halfords, find it in the book and add them to the car.

Drivers side is 20" and passenger and rear are 18".

 

If you want some really amazing wipers, have a look here http://www.priracing.co.uk/section.php?xSec=39&jssCart=7215cbbbe80c22555ddba8baf6fc2bb1

 

Not cheap but they somehow coat the screen so that the water just beads off - bit like RainX.

Halfords sold me 20" and 21" for the front

 

Thanks for the info

PIAA blades are wicked - good advice.

 

(Their light bulbs on non-xenon cars are awesome.)

And there was me thinking wipers were *just* wipers!

Any cheap address to get those PIAA wipers, or only from the above mentioned website?

 

 

Tnx

There are a few other places that sell them but if you want to find them "cheap" you may have a tough time.

Which ones did you buy? The satin black or carbon fibre? Did you go for the Sporza version?

I went for a Sporza for the drivers side and plain for passenger side. Both in black. Carbon ones look good too. Personal preference I guess.

I also need some new ones & wil probably get these ones but am waiting for this extreme hot weather too cool down a bit. Sticking expesie new blades on in this weather would reduce their life unneccaraily plus its not raining at all these days.

I like the look of the carbon one with spoiler

Hi, looking on the PIAA site, which blades are used the cureved ones or normal ones....?

 

I was looking at the PIAA Silicone Sporza wiper blade & carrier black (single) .

 

Drivers side is 20" and passenger and rear are 18", is that confirmed?

 

Thanks

yup

[Kennydies]

so... the curved ones or the stright ones????

never remember there being an option tbh...

I eventually got around to getting the new wipers, but I think they've sent the wrong ones.

 

I asked for 2 PIAA wipers, one with the spoiler (driver side) and one without (passenger side), but I've been sent two without spoilers. I looked at the invoice and they're both priced the same, which makes me think something has gone wrong with the order. On the site, I could *only* choose one with a spoiler due to its size, so I've no idea how it has gone wrong.

 

Anyway, will the wippers be fine anyway without the spoiler? If it works fine and I've not over paid, I'll just stick them on.

[M13KYF]

can't you send them back? If they've screwed up the order i'd ring up and complain

[Traktion]

I could, but if they do the job, I have better things to do with my time than phone them, arrange postage etc.

 

I've not been overcharged anyway (I'm wondering if I messed up my order myself now), so as long as they're not going to fly off at speed, I don't mind. I think I'll just stick them on and see how it goes - I've never noticed the passenger one flapping in the wind!
